      Pros

      The people were the best part of Firestone. I felt like I was making a difference every day. Very good pay and bonus potential. Great location for operations.

      Cons

      Over the past 2 years, morale was at an all time low, because of decisions made by management (local and in Indianapolis). In January 2016, 3 of the 4 Metal plants were shutdown, and several people in the Anoka office lost their job. The process was very demeaning and uncaring to many of these people, and I lost all respect for this company I once was very proud of. I was lucky enough to have the education and the skill set to leave the organization, and find another place of employment.

      Pros

      People are open, fun and helpful. The product is complex and interesting. People know the business and know the people all around in the company to get the help and network they need. Being my first job out of college, I couldn't have picked a better company. Their rotation program allows me to meet and network with Bridgestone/Firestone employees in various locations. It helps me learn about the company and the job by having projects in two manufacturing plants. I learn how our tires are made, which allows me to keep in mind the manufacturability of the components as we design them.

      Cons

      Not knowing much about tires has made this process a little bit more difficult. Bridgestone continues to work on learning programs within the company to help with the learning curve, but you really have to put in the work to learn about tires. People understand the fact that I didn't know much coming into the job. However, they expect you to use these courses, experiences and outside sources to pick up all that information quickly in order to do the job you were hired to do.
